Insider tips

Bring a polarizing lens or a camera with a low-aperture setting to capture details of the miniatures without capturing the surrounding park fence.

Visit during the early morning hours to avoid glare on the model surfaces and to enjoy the site when it is less crowded.

Pair your visit with a walk in the nearby Jánska dolina valley, which offers several hiking trails accessible from the park vicinity.

What to avoid

Avoid visiting during heavy rain as the models are outdoor exhibits and visibility may be poor; avoid bringing dogs inside the model area.

Good to know

Open seasonally from spring through autumn; closed during the winter months due to snow and cold conditions.
